Ice Driver Norway

Last year I was asked by friends who run Ice Driverin Norway, if I would visit them and take some photos for their website & social media. That was something I couldn’t turn down. So February this year I ventured out to see them at their base at Dagali Aiport near Geilo.

The photos below are just a taster of the awesomeness that Ice Driver is.

But first what isIce Driver.. well there are some important ingredients needed to make Europe’s Premier Ice Driving Experience possible. This is a recipe perfected by Andy & Alison McKenna (who happen to be two of the nicest people you are likely to meet) over the last 10 years and its a house speciality...

So you need...

A frozen lake in the incredible Norwegian winter wonderland of Geilo

A selection of carefully planned and prepared tracks carved into the snow and ice

A fleet of professionally prepared cars, BMW’s (Including a 3 series compact with a tuned M3 engine fitted.. yes I did say an M3 engine!!) a Ford Focus GpN rally car and a classic Porsche 911

A twist to the tyre selection, a special ingredient added by Andy to spice the dish

A team of highly professional and talented instructors, with the main goal of getting the best out of you to make your ice driving experience memorable and rewarding

A support crew of amazingness

A selection of fantastic soups for lunch and hot drinks on tap (well in a flask)

A large dose of fun

The end result of this icy cocktail is a driving experience like no other. While on the ice the team of instructors will gradually push you on as you start to get a feel for the cars and the ice leaving you feeling like a driving god, or goddess with the cars feeling like they are floating underneath you. A catchphrase that sticks is "fast hands, light feet" you need both.

You will come away from it having learnt a new skill, which will boost both your abilities and your confidence when the driving conditions take a turn for the worse, trust me on this I have used what I’ve learnt more than once!
